Tiny Minotaur Private Club
The Tiny Minotaur Tavern is an artist-run diy private social club, immersive art installation, music and theater space in downtown Austin, TX. Featuring over 5,000sq ft of movie set- quality fantasy scenery, living “NPCs”, live bards, dungeon synth, and delicious beverages, the Tiny Minotaur is a living world within a world!
What makes the Tiny Minotaur truly special is that it's 100% donation run! NO INVESTORS. NO BANK LOANS. NO LORDS. NO MASTERS.
Why a Private Club and not just a regular Bar or Art Gallery?
The Tiny Minotaur has always prided itself on maintaining quality play space with emotionally-invested and fantasy-minded individuals. A private club with members-only access ensures that everyone coming into the Tavern is vetted and well-informed of the rules of the space to ensure a level of safety and immersion.
The Tiny Minotaur is unlike any other space in Austin and we want to keep it special!
Can I be in the private club? Also: what does that mean?
Yes! Signing up for a Tavern Membership is the simplest thing in the world(s)! Just visit our Patreon and choose a membership tier that fits your budget.
All paid Tavern Members get free access to all of our "regular" tavern nights, free (or steeply discounted) access to (almost) all of the events we host, and can bring up to three guests at the same free/discounted rate! Whether it is for a slurp of Swill, a D&D game with your crew, a dungeon synth show, a drag show, a costume party, or some simple chill time with your friends, you may come and go at your leisure AND help us pay a living wage to the local artists, performers, and tavern staff who make this fantasy world a reality!
But I don't want to become a Member!
That's fine! Do you just want to come and take a peek? Curious newcomers are always welcome! You can get a Temporary Day Membership and enter the Tiny Minotaur on the day of your choosing. The day pass also covers any events we're hosting that evening.
3. Rules for the Space
Rule number one:
-
DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE.
Here in The Rift we have a zero tolerance policy for asshole behavior, which means being rude to staff/your fellow taverngoers, being racist, misogynistic, transphobic, or homophobic. We are definitely NOT apolitical, but The Rift and the Tiny Minotaur within it is a RESPITE & RECHARGE from all the bullshit out in the real world.
That's not our ONLY rule (we do have other, less-important rules over in our F.A.Q.), but don't be intimidated! The Tiny Minotaur aims to be an accessible, inclusive, and welcoming space for hardcore fantasy role play nerds and casual newcomers alike.
Don't worry too much about costumes and playacting and such (unless you want to)! If the only rule you know when you arrive is rule number one, you'll get along just fine.
